Medical testing device having multiple testing parameters

a testing device and multiple testing technology, applied in the direction of measuring devices, material strength using steady torsional forces, instruments, etc., can solve the problems of multiple actuators acting on the same specimen, high cost of purchase, maintenance and use, and the failure of the above device is difficult to pinpoint with so many forces

Problems solved by technology

The above devices are problematic; however, in several regards.
First, the devices having a single actuator requires the purchase, maintenance, and use of multiple devices to properly test different testing upon a single specimen.
The devices having multiple actuators acting upon the single specimen simultaneously are expensive to purchase, maintain, and use.
In addition, a particular failure of a device may not be as readily pinpointed with so many forces being applied simultaneously.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a testing device having multiple testing parameters. Various examples of the testing device are illustrated in the associated FIGS. 1-3.

[0035]The testing device is comprised of a base 20, a servo motor (not shown), an actuator component slider 40, and an adjustable upper housing 52. The testing device applies selected forces and / or moment loads to one or more test specimens.

[0036]The base may include a support test frame 23, which may be open, partially covered, or substantially enclosed.

[0037]The servo motor is positioned within the base, preferably in a fixed position. The motor may be positioned substantially in a center of a top section of the base. The servo motor is directed in a substantially upward direction towards the actuator component slider positioned on a topside of the base, and the servo motor is further connected to one or more power supplies. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention do not require a...

Abstract

The present invention is a device for testing the mechanical properties of a specimen. The device includes an actuator component slider for positioning the specimen within one of multiple test configuration positions, such that each test configuration position examines the static compression / tension properties, dynamic compression / tension properties, static torsional properties, or dynamic torsional properties of the specimen.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 325,554 as filed on Apr. 19, 2010.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]Not applicable.NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT[0003]Not applicable.INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC[0004]Not applicable.BACKGROUND ON THE INVENTION[0005]1. Field of the Invention[0006]The present invention relates generally to medical testing devices for determining mechanical load specifications of a medical implant specimen. More particularly, exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a medical testing device that allows multiple mechanical load specifications to be determined using a single device.[0007]2. Description of the Related Art[0008]The mechanical / physical testing of materials by taking a test specimen and applying tension and / or compressive force loads using an actuator is well known in th...
